Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Fever with pink eye suggests that there could be an infection and that needs to be taken care of. You have not mentioned which drops your doctor has given to you but i guess he will need some antibiotic like ofloxacin drops along with oral antibiotic as well. Also let him not touch his eyes and try to keep the area clean.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
